The only thing worse than drugs are fake drugs. No, really-that’s what science tells us today!
It’s perfectly legal to buy fauxijuana “incense” blends (heck, you can do so over the internet), but according to Anthony Scalzo of Saint Louis University, smoking so-called “K2” blends can result in hallucinations and other unexpected, not-so-mellow reactions in its users:
K2 may be a mixture of herbal and spice plant products, but it is sprayed with a potent psychotropic drug and likely contaminated with an unknown toxic substance that is causing many adverse effects. These toxic chemicals are neither natural nor safe.
Now, some quick things:
1.) If you’re buying fake jazz cigarettes over the internet, you probably shouldn’t.
2.) If you’re smoking fake jazz cigarettes you bought over the internet, you definitely shouldn’t.
3.) If a cooler, rebellious kid offers you a K2 doobie, just say no – he’s neither cool nor rebellious. If he was halfway decent, he would have hooked up with a crazy hippy already by now.
In sum, if you have to resort to getting high from legal (albeit extremely psychotropic) herbs you bought from Amazon.com, you might as well be eating a bowlful of oregano.
